Currently, substitute teachers must have a high school diploma and at least 60 hours of college credits to fill in at LSC schools.

Monday night, the school board discussed only requiring substitutes to have a high school diploma. Those substitutes would have to go through a specialized training and they would only be allowed to teach students in elementary up to 8th grade.

Superintendent Les Huddle said like a lot of schools nationwide, LSC has had a hard time filling substitute teachers.

"We think that will increase our pool of substitute teachers to again help our fill rate back in the classroom," said Huddle.
